Rainy Day Craft and The Winners!


When my Dad walked through the kitchen heading to the trash
with a bag full of old shredded tax returns...
I said, "hey, I want those!"

Knowing me well...
... he just shook his head and handed over the overflowing bag stuffed full of shredded numbers and letters...

I searched through my pile of magazines
 and found the latest issue of Country Living
 which had instructions for making shredded paper nests. 

Even I can do this! 



Aren't you proud of me?


Since I hadn't gotten any of Mom's Easter decorations out yet, 
I filled it with rose petals.

Rainy day fun!

Well, today was another day and it was absolutely beautiful!
The sunshine is back and is supposed to stay for a while.
Tomorrow we have another weekend...
...another chance to hunt for treasure...
 and then on Monday I plan to visit the Webster flea market...
...one more time before Mr. Flea and I head back north.

And now for the winners of the
52 FLEA 2nd Blogversary Give Back...

The first lucky winner is:

Vicki of  the lovely blog Rusty Rooster Vintage
who will be able to create her own photo on canvas from



photo from their website


and

for my international friends...
the winner of a copy of Artful Blogging magazine is:


Bine of the beautiful blog Beldecor, Essentially Vintage
and the online shop Maison Beldecor

Congratulations ladies!
...and thank you to everyone who played along...
You are ALL winners to me!

Within the next few days I will be announcing
 another exciting give-away.

Hope your weekend is relaxing!
:)

2 Year Blogversary Give Back

the original photo

Oh NO!
I missed my 2 year Blogging Anniversary!
( back in February)

A few weeks ago I received an email from Megan at 
 asking if I would be interested in hosting a giveaway for readers of 
52 FLEA.

Why not?

I thought that this would be a good opportunity to celebrate my
 2nd year of blogging and Give Back to all of you who have given
 so much to me in the way of friendship, support and comfort
 over the last two years.


Have you seen these photos on canvas prints?
Creating one is like designing your own custom art work!
It really is easy to do...
You just upload your photo to their site...
Select a size, a border and any image effects...
...and presto!


I experimented with a favorite photo of one of my French canisters and those soft pink blossoms from our Japanese cherry tree.
I love the way it looks as a canvas print.


Can you imagine what you could do with a favorite family photo?
I will have to try another...so many to choose from!

If you would like to win the chance to create your own canvas print
 with your own photo...
just leave a comment on this post.

For a second chance to win...mention this Give Back on your blog or other social media and leave a second comment to tell me so.

As per the folks at Easy Canvas Prints, this Give Back is open to all my friends in the United States.

I cannot leave out all my special friends from outside the U.S. so for those people who are beyond U.S. shores, instead of a canvas print, one winner will receive a copy of the spring issue of 
Artful Blogging magazine!

An AMAZING issue!

Yes, that's the one with my little article... 

To enter to win either a chance to design your own Canvas Print
OR
a copy of Artful Blogging magazine...

...remember to leave a comment on this post before

April Fool's Day!
(Brother Biff's birthday!)
 Friday, April 1st!

Good Luck!
:)
